Chapter 1377

Secretary Xiao Zhu finally understood—

It wasn't some abstract rural romance, nor was it Old Lady Zhou's heaven-sent justice; it was purely that she had taken a fancy to Old Man Li's big yellow ox!

But no matter the reason, it couldn't hide her ugly expression. Because such a major poisoning incident happened in the village, her work for this year was basically in vain.

Song Tan also looked at her with sympathy—Secretary Xiao Zhu really hadn't been idle in the village at all, either running to the ministry to apply for this and that, or helping the village increase income in various ways. She also handled various family disputes clearly. Recently, she had been running to town three times a day just to make sure the town's hotel was tidy enough to keep the film crew for a few more days...

Good grief!

They were still studying water heaters on one side, and on the other, the Song family called to say someone had poisoned them!

If Secretary Xiao Zhu hadn't been well-trained, she would have felt like holding a dynamite pack right now!

Old Man Li, however, didn't know about these twists and turns, and just looked at Old Lady Zhou, who was full of self-righteousness and resentment, and said in surprise: "My ox, why should I give it to you?"

"Who peeked at you! Our fields are next to each other. I walk on the ridge, and I'm still two fields away from your door! You rolled on the ground and pulled your clothes, and called the kids to say I was an old lecher peeking at you... Old Lady Zhou, don't think I don't dare to hit you!"

Old Man Li was trembling all over with anger!

Speaking of old grudges and new hatreds, how could he not have any?!

"You still want my big yellow ox? No way!"

"When my big yellow ox was still small, you borrowed it to plow the fields, and you didn't give it fodder for a whole day and even whipped it! Could I let the big yellow ox fall into your hands? It's a sin when people get old, but my ox is going to enjoy life when it gets old!"

In those years, an ox was such an important family asset! Expensive and precious. If anyone borrowed an ox and didn't treat it well, they would be pointed at behind their backs. Because of this, the young and hot-headed Old Man Li drained the water from Old Lady Zhou's rice paddy canal overnight, and the two families almost fought again because of it.

Now that this old woman has gone crazy, she still dares to think of his big yellow ox?!

Simply, simply outrageous!

Although the big yellow ox doesn't belong to him anymore, thinking of it falling into the hands of such a person, Old Man Li couldn't stand it at all!

Everyone listened in amazement and exclaimed repeatedly, never expecting such exciting major events in the countryside!

Only Until Wu Lan looked nervous: "Police officer, can someone like her be sentenced?"

"That's a must!" The other side also sighed: Poisoning in a township, is it a face-saving matter for their police system? The county government will put pressure on them later...

Fortunately, the evidence is conclusive this time. The Song family has surveillance and videos, and both human and physical evidence are present, so the matter is not difficult to solve.

It wasn't until this moment that a young girl finally rushed out of the restroom. The other party had probably finally picked up her shattered self-esteem. Seeing the police, she shouted repeatedly: "I'm not an accomplice, I don't even know her. I was just planning to ask her for directions at first!"

The police weren't buying it. Although this matter was very consistent with Old Lady Zhou's logic, what if this logic wasn't sudden, but someone deliberately guided it?

And if you're asking for directions, why follow people all the way to the field? It's hard to say there wasn't some bad intention hidden!

In short, they handled it officially: "Whether you are or not, come with me to the station and we'll talk."

However, the girl stamped her foot and was about to cry!

"It really wasn't me!"

She checked the time: "I can't go! My brother is coming here soon! I have to wait for my brother! I spent thousands to find out about this itinerary! I must take a first-hand shot! And I want a photo and autograph with my brother!"

The police officers in front were just about to say there were family members, but when they heard these words from behind, they felt strange, and then suddenly gasped—

"Is it those film crews and stars? Didn't they say they wouldn't be here for another 3 days?"

This kind of thing is a big deal. Even the municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism has inquired about it. If the film crew hadn't repeatedly ordered them to keep it confidential, it would have been widely publicized long ago!

Most of the pressure on their township police now comes from this event arrangement. Now that the people haven't arrived yet, a major poisoning incident is already enough to give people a headache!

But if the stars were to face this poisoning scene directly...

Hiss!

The expressions of several police officers also turned ugly. Without a word, they grabbed the young girl: "I'm sorry, you also appeared at the scene, so come back to the station with us for an investigation. If you are truly innocent, we won't wrong anyone!"

After saying that, they didn't linger any longer, pushed the person into the car, closed the rear door, and left quickly!

They had only gone 5 meters away when the car braked again: "Almost forgot, you witnesses and people in charge have to go too... That Old Man Li, since she mentioned you, you have to go too! Come on, get in that car!"

What kind of unprovoked disaster is this!

But Zhang Yanping was clearly hit hard: "Grandpa Seventh! Didn't I grind beans and stir-fry beans for you? Why do you still dislike me? Do you know how hard I worked to look like this?"

Worked hard at what?

Grandpa Seventh didn't buy it at all! When Zhang Yanping first came, he was picky about work and loved to be lazy. The label of being lazy was stuck on him, and he couldn't take it off for a while.

Yang Zhengxin didn't know what Qiaoqiao's family was arguing about now, but the beef jerky delivered to his eyes, not eating it would simply be inhuman!

He decisively started stuffing it into his mouth.

The beef jerky Grandpa Seventh made wasn't the kind traditionally sealed in vacuum bags, but red chili shells and fragrant white sesame seeds evenly sprinkled inside, accompanied by a series of ingredients such as crushed peanuts, thin beef strips—accurately speaking, closer to beef shreds.

The moisture inside had almost been dried, the thin beef jerky was soaked in special red oil. At this moment, picking up a strip, biting down with the sesame and crushed peanuts on top……

Yang Zhengxin widened his eyes, standing with Qiaoqiao, living like two little raccoons with widened eyes and innocent faces:

"How is this also so delicious!"

The beef jerky was neither hard to chew nor too soft and lacking texture. The spicy taste mixed with the beef kept magnifying in his mouth, chewed and swallowed together with the shredded beef……

"So delicious!"

The big young man was stunned by the food in the courtyard, and then gave a fierce evaluation: "Better than the secret spicy yak beef my dad bought from someone else on the plateau! That one costs 500 a jin!"

Grandpa Seventh wasn't humble at all: "That's right! With my craftsmanship and this kind of cow, 5000 is also worth it!"

And Song Tan also tasted it, feeling the rich taste brewing layer by layer in her mouth, she also hesitated: "How should we price this beef when we sell it to Boss Chang later?"

How to price it?
